Please excuse my twisted sense of homour. Glad you all were brave enough to look.

Woohoo! You've all made my day! I compromised with hubby when we agreed that I would hatch my own chooks that we would turn the cockerals into roast dinners (as we are not allowed to keep roosters in our town) and I was so worried that the GLW was going to be a boy because it is just such a...

I just wanted to share my duck babies first splash .... casserole dish seemed the best available option, just the right size for a duck at a time and not too shallow/not too deep. I don't know who enjoyed it more - me watching them play or them doing the playing!

I'm pretty sure from looking through others posts that the leghorn is a girl and I will be thrilled if she is as she is my only leghorn that hatched. The wyandotte though I am really not sure about at all.

Ok, so here are some pictures ... it also seems that some of her tail feathers are coming through upside down too (a bit hard to tell in the picture and they are still quite short). The wing feathers that are curled are like that all the way down to the shaft, so it is not ordinary feathers that...

Oh, I just read your little signature thingy that goes with your posts and see that he is a buff x runner. I don't know what a buff looks like - off to google one ...

It is just hit and miss as far as gender goes, there is nothing you can do to alter that, sex is determined at time of fertilisation just like in human babies. I actually bought my incubator off ebay, imported it from a seller in the USA as it was much cheaper for me to import one than to buy...

My first time posting a picture, hope it works. My 4 baby runners.

I just hatched 4 Indian Runners 5 weeks ago! - my first time hatching duck eggs and only my second time hatching any eggs at all, so I was very pleasantly suprised when I got a 100% hatch rate. I have a new Hovabator which has an automatic turner and a fan in it to keep even temperature, it's...

Hi from down under! I'm new here too and loving BYC. Very helpful.

Seriously? What's a sizzle?? I borrowed a friend's camera and took some pics but now waiting for her to find usb cable so that I can get them onto my computer. Will post them when I get that sorted (I should have enough posts to do that by then). Noticed today that she has a few curled over...

Anyone? It's wing seems to have improved today but no change with the legs.

Ok, thank you. It's only about 5 feathers on each wing so I guess just some random confused feathers. Will be interesting to see if they stay like that.

No, can't at the moment sorry.

May be a silly question but ... Having a cuddle today with my Gold Laced Wyandotte 'chick', now about 7 weeks old and mostly got her (well, hopefully her) big-bird feathers, and I noticed that some of her wing feathers are kind of curly, they curl so that the underside of the feather faces up...

I have a 4day old Buff Sussex chick which has developed a problem with its legs and wing, I have searched through other posts and got a few ideas but can't find any that have the leg and wing problem together ... I don't have photo sorry but chick has swollen hocks which are a bit red on the...

J's Orpingtons: I am originally from North Auckland (North Island) but have been living in South Otago (South Island) for about 8 years now - from one end of our beautiful country to the other! Thanks to everyone else for the welcome messages - nice! And welcome to you too Chili22.

I love once they are all in the broody box all together and fuzzied up and they all peek out from under their electric mum when I check on them, they are just so gorgeous and cute it makes me melt . And I love watching their adult colours come through as they get their big-bird feathers and...

Several years ago I adopted some ex-battery hens and enjoyed having them around but as they died off I did not replace them and have been chookless for a while, but recently I decided I want to keep some chickens again so I got hubby to built me a nice new coup in the backyard and we fenced it...
